Admin: Darkest Suburbia is still here

Yes, I'm still alive (and I will try to post more actual news soon, given that there is some, but you would not believe how busy things are here just now):

This journal has for quite awhile now been duplicated on DW and on LJ -- partly because I like having backups, and partly in the wake of one or the other the-sky-is-falling memes.  We have another one of those circulating this week, with news that LJ's servers are now based in the opposite hemisphere from Darkest Suburbia (specifically, in Mother Russia).  This is apparently viewed as a Harbinger of Doom and a sign of the End Times.

We shall see; in any event, what I'm here to tell you is that while I continue to do most of the heavy lifting on the DreamWidth side, I have no intention of departing LiveJournal until the last light goes out and the last bit of tinsel is vacuumed up.  (Those in the gallery who remember GEnie will recall that I was there till the very end of that party, too.)  As a practical matter, my friends-list on LJ is much larger than the one for this account on DW (I do read both regularly), and I honestly don't think it likely that anything I've posted here is sufficiently controversial to draw the attention of any Minions of Evil that may be reading this over in that other hemisphere.  And even if it is, I've got the DW import of this journal, so there's no question of actual content being lost for good.

OTOH, if anyone wants to set up housekeeping on the DW side Just In Case, then let me know if you do so that I can add you to the reading page Over There.  (Or if you are already there under some other name, which I know does happen, tell me that too.)

We now return you to your regularly scheduled winter morning....

Talk about look-before-you-leap; I just commented on LJ, then came over here and realized we'd already added each other. Heh.

I'm still active on Usenet. I'm not leaving LJ any time soon.

I've been mirroring from DW since the last scare, same user name as here. I never did completely archive my LJ, will probsbly do that now.

Totally OT, you may be amused to know I still pull out your "Starhook's Special Dark" filk on occasion. Most recently at local-to-me Chessiecon back on Thanksgiving weekend.

My DW account had some hinky password stuff going on. Either I need to reattempt to set it up or else open a new account, I guess.
